NACD Applauds Approval of Farm Bill by Senate Agriculture Committee

Tue, 14 May 2013 14:46:18 CDT

National Association of Conservation Districts President Earl Garber released the following statement after the Senate Agriculture Committee approved their version of the 2013 farm bill:


"NACD applauds Chairwoman Stabenow and Ranking Member Cochran for their leadership on a strong Farm Bill, including provisions within the Manager's Amendment relating to an historic conservation compliance agreement and Technical Assistance reforms. The bipartisan conservation compliance agreement, supported by NACD and other agriculture, environment and crop insurance groups, strengthens our ability to conserve natural resources for the future by tying conservation compliance to crop insurance for highly erodible land and wetlands, while at the same time opposing means testing, payment limitations or premium subsidy reductions for the crop insurance program. The 'Improve USDA-NRCS Conservation Technical Assistance (TA)' amendment, led by Senator Heitkamp (D-ND), along with Senators Boozman (R-AR), Brown (D-OH), Donnelly (D-IN) and Thune (R-SD), increases efficiency within the delivery of TA funds, putting TA decision-making authority in the hands of those who are the most familiar with resource needs on the ground. On behalf of the nation's 3,000 conservation districts, we urge the full Senate to take swift action to pass this bill."
